Now they should be looking at longer destinations particularly European cities (The Canaries, Berlin, Madrid, Lisbon, Rome, Milan and the Eastern Mediterranean)
easyJet have just seen AerLingus off the Belfast scene for the winter in terms of Europe, they have not increased frequency to make up for EI capacity cut.any at all as the demand is not there, and certainly demand with yield is not. There objective is to drive yield on the small number of routes that they have. Makes sense in terms of sustainability.

Belfast in terms of longer flights is quite seasonal.

Jet2 not doing much winter work in recent years reinforces this. They have now moved to fill well developed aer lingus gaps at lower frequency to ensure demand exceeds supply and hence yield satisfactory.
